"We knew the rankings were coming up," says Barrick, " but even if we'd been chosen number one again, we would have changed it."

So what do YOU think of the new slogan?

That is the worst place slogan I've ever heard. Right up there with "Texas: We're Not Mississippi." Seriously - how many tens of thousands of tax dollars did the city give to some marketing consultant to come up with that one?

Perhaps it should be rewritten just a bit. Charlottesville: "A fantabulous little village that provides everything for everyone..at least for us rich folks."

Or maybe...Charlottesville: The most expensive village in Virginia.

Or as the sign says when you drive in to town: harlottesville (since the C was removed).

So after reading this, can you even remember the new city slogan?

Charlottesville: A Great Place to Live for All of Our Citizens, but if you're from NoVa, New York, The Deep South, Tidewater, the Valley, or California just stay away, and if you're a student please contribute while you're here by visiting the Downtown Mall and then go home.
